South Carolina Flag Meaning & History
South Carolina was one of the 13 original British colonies and was the eighth state to join the United States in 1788. However, the state flag of South Carolina’s history dates back even earlier than that. A direct design lineage can be traced to 1775 and Colonel William Moultrie’s “Liberty” flag, designed as a standard for South Carolina’s militia troops defending Charleston during the American Revolutionary War.
Moultrie’s crescent has remained part of the South Carolina flag ever since. The palmetto tree was added in 1861 to refer to the palmetto trees that assisted in Moultrie’s defense of Sullivan Island.
